There seem to be a lot of these regulations that are totally ridiculous and ineffective, and that's why the NCAA legislative council will consider 91 changes to them when it meets in January. Hallelujah ... I guess? At the very least, it might do away with legislation passed only TWO years ago (?!?!?) that prohibits schools from providing student-athletes with complimentary butter or jam packets to accompany any bagels, fruits, or nuts. (Before that, schools couldn't bribe kids with any food at all, save energy bars. Ha.)If we could team up with the University of Utah in providing bagels to recruits, we would have the best football team in the country. BYU would have to settle for Einstein Bagels and would suffer. Better bagels = better recruits.
But Proposal No. 2011-78 would finally make butter, peanut butter, jelly, and cream cheese a-okay ... maaaaybe by sometime next year.

New York’s famed H&H bagel joint closes ... JPost - International
New York’s famed H&H bagel joint closes ... JPost - International
Curious passersby paused on Sunday morning outside the vacant store where the famed H&H Bagels once stood, peeking through the tainted windows of the former bakery that until just recently had attracted lovers of the ovalshaped bread from near and far.
“Whoa, I can’t believe it,” said Michael Blumenthal, a New Jersey native who hadn’t heard the news that the establishment had shuttered earlier in the week. “It’s an institution. I used to love coming to this place. I tried to bring my friend here today and it’s closed.”
Bagel News
Consider the Bagel - Guardian.co.uk
The deterioration of New York's bagels – and those of everywhere else, come to that – is an inevitable consequence of their modern popularity. Mechanisation, freezers and food scientists are the enemies of flavour and heritage. Eastern European émigrés, often Jewish, brought bagel-making to New York in the late 1800s. For most of the 20th century the heavily unionised bakers turned production of the bread into a cartel – the main advantage of which, by common consent, was that quality remained high. Proper bagels are difficult to do well.

What do cops think about National Doughnut Day? | montoya, doughnut, day - News - The Orange County Register
What do cops think about National Doughnut Day?
Where doughnuts were once a common staple at the Newport Beach Police briefing room, they are now relics. A less sugary, healthier snack is now available for the uniformed officers.
"It's bagels now," said Newport Beach Police Sgt. Chuck Freeman. "It's a generational thing."
California Highway Patrol officer Gabe Montoya said he was unaware of the holiday as he was eating his egg and chorizo breakfast burrito Friday morning.
"The last time I had a doughnut was around Christmastime," Montoya said, adding that he'll take a bagel over a doughnut any day.
"Nobody notices that there are a lot of cops at the bagel shops," Montoya added. "Nothing better than a bagel out of the oven."

Check out This Great Review On Yelp.com
Eve L.'s Review of Park City Bread and Bagel on Yelp:
This is the best bagel outside of Brooklyn! My husband - a Brooklyn native - has been searching for a great bagel since he moved out to the west and he's finally found it. Is it just as good as the East Coast? No. But close enough to make our mouths water and Brooklyn memories come to mind. Great selection too! Try the Everything bagel! Luckily, my hubby works in Park City, so it's easy to get, but for those of you in SLC the drive up Parleys may make this place seem not worth the trouble, but you are WRONG! Never look at Einsteins Bagels the same. . .

From Psych Ward to Bagel Mensch - Berkeleyside.com
Noah Alper started his bagel business with a single storefront on College Avenue back in the summer of 1989. Six years later the company, Noah’s Bagels, had expanded to 38 West Coast outlets and was sold to Einstein Bagel Bros. for $100 million dollars.
Talk about a rocket ride from start up to stunning success.
Truth is, though, Alper is a self-described serial entrepreneur who has launched six businesses with mixed results. Early on in his career back East he did a roaring trade selling rustic salad bowls out of the back of his VW bug. And a homewares operation he began in 1971 did well, as did a natural food store he started in 1973, Bread & Circus, now a chain owned by Whole Foods.
But Alper’s venture into the mail-order catalog market, Holy Land Gifts, which sold religious handicrafts imported from Israel to evangelical Christians, was a total bust in the mid-80s. And his kosher Italian Ristorante Raphael lasted only four years in downtown Berkeley before calling it a night in 2007.
So the 64-year-old business consultant knows a thing or two about the ups and downs of an entrepreneur’s life. He shares the lessons he’s learned in his recent book, Business Mensch: Timeless Wisdom for Today’s Entrepreneur, written with Thomas Fields-Meyer.
Part memoir, part motivational manual, and part homily to the Jewish traditions that have informed how he lives his life and conducts business, Alper’s book is an antidote to a post-Madoff Ponzi scheme world. In its pages he stresses spiritual values such as honesty, integrity, and ethics.
All this from a man who survived a nine-month stint in a mental institution following a breakdown during his student days at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where drug experimentation, coupled with the violence and stress of the antiwar movement, proved too much for his fragile psyche.
Real New Yorkers Don't Toast Bagels - TheDailyMeal.com
A good bagel in its perfect form — that is to say, fresh from the oven — does not require toasting. It does not benefit from toasting. Toasting a good bagel is bastardizing a beautiful thing. If you’re toasting a good bagel, you’re toasting something that’s already warm and crusty — that’s redundant. You’re not going to get anything better than peak form — oven-fresh. The outside is already crisp yet pliable. The inside, willing and giving, accepting and forgiving, still able to transform through its residual heat, its breath — your spread, from its natural state into something just slightly different, while keeping its integrity. If you’re taking this level of craftsmanship and toasting it you either have hubris or a lack of experience with quality product.

Get Bageled - by Kristen Gould Case
Often, it’s the big ritzy places that put Park City on the map. But it’s the little locally-run, out-of-the-way places that make it home. Take Park City Bread & Bagel in Quarry Village (just off the Jeremy Ranch exit) for instance. In a little strip mall in this mini shopping center, PC B&B is an unassuming gem. The menu is handwritten on the chalkboard. The counter servers are tattooed, pierced and friendly as can be. Mountain Trails Foundation hiking and biking maps or the Park City Pioneers Hockey team schedule posters make up the artwork on the walls. There’s a cozy sitting area with couches and a fireplace, a replica of a little aerial tram hanging over, and a shelf with books, puzzles and the occasional little red fire truck. Alternative tabloids like City Weekly and SLUG are stacked in the corner. Baggy-drawered snowboarders with wool beanies and goggles backwards across their foreheads coming in for their on-the-way-to-the-hill fix and Moms with kids in strollers on a mission for juice and a bagel mix seamlessly. This is where any Park City High School sports team that’s heading down the canyon to compete in Salt Lake City meets to fuel up on caffeine and carbs before carpooling down the hill (pretty fun to see the entire high school boys lacrosse team in there at seven in the morning … go Miners!) And then there’s the very reasonably priced menu that always satisfies. Try the Breakfast Panini with homemade focaccia (moist and delicious), scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, peppers and a spinach artichoke spread for just $3.99. Add bacon, ham or sausage for just another buck. Or a bagel melt, with cheddar bagel, chive cream cheese, melted cheddar cheese, onions and tomato, $3.69. Or just a bagel and … Butter? Peanut butter? Honey? Simple. In tennis, my sport of choice, “getting bageled” means you got a zero – goose egg – a round center hole made of air – nada. Of course, “zero” in tennis lingo is also known as “love,” and that’s what you’ll be feeling for Park City Bread and Bagel. 3126 Quarry Road (right near the Park City Market), (435) 655-0913. Open weekdays, 6:30am-8pm; Weekends 7am-8pm.

PCBB Food For Thought #4: The Sundance Effect
PCBB Food For Thought #4: The Sundance Effect
I went through and deleted the actual figures from the chart. But you can easily see from this makeshift heat map how much business picks up for us during the ten days of the Sundance Film Festival. Even though we sit a good ten miles from the majority of the action, we still see an increase in business from our regulars, tourists, and even less-regular locals that might head our way to escape the crowds.
These numbers ignore the huge increase in wholesale business that we see each year. When combined with the national exposure the town receives and subsequent increase in non-Sundance tourism, it's easy to justify renting out our town to a bunch of film dorks for ten days a year. Plus, it makes Park City that much more fun when we get it back.
The Color of the Sea Green = One employee or $0-75 per hour- Aquamarine = Two employees required or $75-170 per hour
- Tiger's Blood Red = Three employees or $170-250 per hour
- Hot Hot Pink = Four employees or $250+ per hour

Rosenbloom '13: Bagel Gourmet Ole: a salute to cultural fusion - The Brown Daily Herald
Rosenbloom '13: Bagel Gourmet Ole: a salute to cultural fusion - The Brown Daily Herald
We do breakfast burritos, chorizo, jalapeno cream cheese, jalapeno and jalapeno-cheddar bagels, and Taco Tuesday specials. Maybe we should start calling ourselves Bagel-Mexican Fusion Dining as well. Or maybe just El Park City Bread & BagelThree words demonstrate how America is unique. Three words show that America will stay ahead of all of its rivals. Three words illustrate how America is the greatest nation in the history of the world. What are those three words?
Bagel Gourmet Ole.
This hybrid Mexican and bagel restaurant, with locations on Thayer and Brook streets, represents everything that makes our country unique and exceptional. It perfectly illustrates the source of America's strength — the unique solutions and products that result from the interactions of so many different cultures. Whenever multiculturalists feel lost for words, they should just make the Bagel Gourmet Ole defense.
As Americans who are accustomed to living amid such diversity, we find it easy to take this restaurant for granted. I urge you to take a minute just to examine its absurdity. This is a Hispanic-run store that sells Mexican food as well as bagels, one of the most stereotypically Jewish foods!
One graphic in the restaurant perfectly captures the beautiful absurdity of this combination. This picture features cartoon depictions of Mr. Bagel and Mr. Jalapeno holding hands and smiling. This odd couple represents the best kind of absurdity — American absurdity — with all of the multicultural fusion and inter-ethnic cooperation that it entails.
Looking For The Best Bagels on Main Street This Sundance?
Look no further than Java Cow and Main Street Deli. Both Main Street locations currently carry bagels from Park City Bread and Bagel. Stop by and pick some up today.
